Jesus Walks March 11 2006
I did some calculations on how far Jesus walked based on H21’s Jesus Walks (Google Earth) It looks like you too could complete the voyage in just over a month’s time!
Update: Please note that this does not include Jesus’ journeys into India, the Orient and Europe. These only include the quoted locations in the Christian Bible. These journeys occured between the ages of 12 and 30 (approx.) as well after he escaped crucifixion at Golgotha.

VB.NET and DateTime Comparison March 09 2006
After doing some DateTime comparison tests, I have come to some strange conclusions.
The DateTime.Compare() method is not reliable when comparing a database record DateTime with a VB.NET DateTime
The “=” comparison is not reliable when comparing a database record DateTime with a VB.NET DateTime
The easiest way to do the datetime comparison between various forms of the DateTime datatype is to simply convert it to a string and compare!
e.g.
Dim dr as DataRow
Dim dt1 as DateTime
Dim dt2 as DateTime
… Fill ‘dr’ with some database data…
dt1 = Now()
dt2 = dr.item(”some_db_datetime”)
if(dt1.toString.trim = dt2.toString.trim) then
‘ True Condition
else
‘ False Condition
EndIf
Singapore March 05 2006
Blair and I were having dinner with friends this evening when the topic of Singapore came up. Our friends had in fact travelled to Singapore and came away with an overall good impression. It seems that Singapore is a small little utpoia that is extremely clean and full of greenery even in urban settings.
Another interesting thing about Singapore is the strict laws that govern the locals and in extreme cases tourists. It is not illegal to bring gum into Singapore for personal consumption however it is illegal to traffic it. If you want to litter (perhaps the gum you were chewing), …
IFC March 04 2006
The IFC (or Independent Film Channel to others) is an interesting animal indeed. As I type this message a film called “All the Real Girls” is playing. A strange kind of film but gritty and real. Most of the stuff they play on this channel (at least what I’ve seen) is so everyday real. But not my real. Other people’s real. I suppose many people would say “well thats just everyday shit!” Sure it may be but its not my everyday shit. It may be someone elses but its believable… I don’t want to use fake words like “Raw” and …
